B's got a crush on Pete Bondurant from ever since way back when he first read The Cold Six Thousand but Kemper Boyd's my guy - gets me every time with his classic compartmentalization (nobody likes Ward, but I have a little bit of a soft spot for him). I put off finishing this for as long as I could because I didn't want it to end because it's totally brilliant and because Ellroy does the passage of time so well that even though it'd been two days and I was halfway through it felt like I'd lived the same weeks the characters had , but sometimes you've got to just get right in there & figure out who's going to get shot, so here we are. No complaints.

""I warn you not to be seduced by the dangerous life. You can't possibly be as good at it as Kemper Boyd is." Dammit, this is great!"
